goodbye, callie

i had to say goodbye to my cat on the 16th. i rescued callie at the dallas spca in october, 1996. she was 13 yrs. old.

she was a pretty good cat...;) she had her little quarks like any animal does. i will miss her a lot- she was my first "child"- my first pet on my own. she was with me through most of my BIG life moments- college, marriage, moving from apt. to apt. then to our house, kids, moving to CO.... i put that cat through a lot. i have a ton of really good memories with her!

i love you, callie. you will be missed...

a visit from TERAH, the new year and skiing

Terah arrived around 8pm-ish on 12/31. We sat around talking and playing games (and had a few drinks) to ring in the new year. The boys had fun with hats and party blowers and confetti poppers (what a mess, by the way). A pretty relaxing New Year's all in all.

While Terah was here, we went skiing- Terah, Kyle and I. We had so much fun!! We went to Loveland Pass for the day. It was my first time skiing- Kyle's first time, too. Terah had been a few times, so she gave us some pointers once we were on the slopes- and off we went. It was a blast! I cannot wait to go again soon. It was great spending time with Terah (my burro)- even though we had touble with the puzzle! lol
